Bright Future Predicted

Browsmg through the records of a century or more ago—an ap- propriate centennial ye..r pastime—- we came aeross many indications of the prosperitywhich the Town of Georgetown was then enjoying. In view of its flourishing trade, it. had been declared a Free Port by Her Majesty's Government. It had three public and five privately owned wharves. and there was almost con- stant activity on its waterfront. One could count. not. infrequently. as many as 100 ships of the Amer- lcan Fishing Fleet lying in the bar- bor at one time. And there was shipbuilding. a tannery and other industries. and many fine business establishments. giving employment the year round.

This. doubtless. was what. Pre- mier Shaw had in' mind at the sod turning ceremony on Saturday for tit; million-dollar Gulf Gerden Foods

dent. Mr. Jens Moe. the new estab- lishment will be the largest fully integrated plant of its kind in Can- ada. employing many workers from the sea and the fields of Prince Ed~ ward Island. The company will em- bark on an intensive job training program as a preliminary to its operations The target date for the official opening of the plant. is May 1. 1.065. and it was noted that al- ready an excellent job has been done in the construction of Bathurst Marine Ltd. another project of ma- jor importance to the community. All our citizens rejoice in the fact. that Old Man Opportunity (perhaps the Premier “as right in calling him Destiny) is again knocking at Hoorgeioyvn's door; that this beauti- ful section of the Province will once again become a hive of industry. and on bigger scale than in the past. It is a heartwarming prospect. and highly creditable to all concerned in getting the movement under way.

Important Conference

This is the 19th annual meeting of the Fisheries Council of Canada which is now in session in Char- lottetown. and it may be regarded as thc most important one in view of the federal program of fisheries development which is now taking shape, following the federal-pro- \'inciul fislicrics confetcucc lust. January. This program is being dis- cussed at the current. meeting. and its importance was underlined by the federal minister, Hon. Mr. Robi- chaud. in his opening address yes- Icrday.

Mr. Robicliaud optimistic with regard to the prospects in the fisheries industry. in View of the outlook for an expanding economy in North America through 1964. This expansion. he concerted. by no means impiics the elimination of many pi'cssizig pi‘rtbcms. luu it does crcatc a fault :ililc t‘lllllTlGI and there is encouragement in recent develop- ments in the. industry itself. in the way of additional new vessels and the improvement of existing vessels in the fishing fleets. and the new fish processing plants and improve- ments to oldvr plants.

Apparently puts (the edible kind) aren‘t as popular as they used to be. And. according to The Insider's Newsletter. a motivation— al research study sponsored by a Massachusetts nut. company has discovered why: “To the public. nuts suggest overinduligence—and the more sophisticated the nut eaten (egg, cashew. almond. macadamia) the deeper and more violent. the eater‘s suppressed guilt feelings." What's more. peanut-eaters are re- garded as "square" by non-peanut- eaters and. in turn. look on cashew. chewers as being "very far up the social totem pole."

Accidents Are People

ontreal

When the statistics for traffic 3

deaths are analyzed. a strange fact emerges: most traffic

deaths occur under driving con- ‘

ditions that are relatively favor- able to safety.

Such an analysis has concluded by New Brunswick‘s highway safety division. It con- sidered the 131 fatal highway

. accidents in the provmce ln 1963.

Most of these accidents. it was discovered. had taken place on a clcar day. on a straight stretch of rural road. in dry weather. on paved roads. and involved cars in good condition. It was also found that the great majority of the drivers were in flood health. sober. and with more than two years‘ cxper 'cncc.

It was also found that the great majority of the drivers-— 74 per cent— had been driving for five years or more. Skid- ding. slowing or stopping or backing were low on the list of causes. Most accidents were caused by cars going straight forward.

The answer may be that when conditions for driving are more difficult. the greater attention promotes greater safety. When conditions seem good. drivers become careless. It may be that the greatest cause of accidents in the
